[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Regarding the frequent visits: use it! Schedule a special time once or twice a week for just her and your LO. Take that time for yourself; nap, go get a mani/pedi, go have a quiet lunch out, do laundry, etc. Turn lemons into lemonade. There's only so much you can do. [/quote] OP, I received the exact same advice and I think it is good for when the baby is a bit older. My MIL was actually telling me the above. She, as yours was over every single day, but I had no desire to go anywhere. I wanted to be with my newborn, not to get a pedicure. Talk to your husband - it took me 3 month to make these visits more spaced out. I also started feeling more safer to leave the baby with her. I do resent my MIL - she ruined my maternity leave by trying to snatch my baby away from me. She still hates to see me around DC, but I became better at telling her to give me space.[/quote]
